Brightkite, easy to use, location based "Twitter" and photos
Long title, huh? I was going to write out a thoughtful post about Brightkite and why I'm kind of warming up to it, but Herschell's vertigo-addled brain did all the work for me: My first text to the brightkite servers was relatively painless and took the same amount of time as it would to tweet it (on Twitter). All I did was send “? LOCATION” to BrightKite’s SMS # and in seconds, BKite (see what I did there? heheh) asked me to verify WHICH LOCATION, in which I replied “1? and PRESTO CHANGE-O! Internets! YAY. Bonus points for the seamless ...

Revolutionary iPhone ideas: Apple take note
Let me stream internet radio to my iPhone over WiFi. I can't tell you how awesome this would be. I don't want to have to capture Groove Salad over night to a big ol' MP3 and listen to it throughout the day. I want live radio! NPR, cool college stations, it would be extremely cool. When my iPhone is attached to my computer, I should be able to send and receive text messages (SMS) via some method. Address book used to do this (I think) with phones connected via Bluetooth. Why not build this functionality into iChat? Or expose it ...

Super cool iPhone photo from the trip: Mountain from airplane
Just thought I'd share this photo with anyone who missed it in our Flickr stream. I took it out the window of out plane on the return trip to Chicago from San Francisco. It was taken with my iPhone about thirty to forty-five minutes after takeoff, which I thought would probably put it somewhere on the border of California and Nevada. A mountain range in Yosemite Park, perhaps?
Ditched T-Mobile, got an iPhone
As you may have already heard, Jacqui lost her phone during perhaps the most important week of her professional career. As a journalist covering Apple stuff, you need to be in nearly constant communication during the Macworld Expo! After asking all over Moscone in various lost and found stations, we gave up and used this as a catalyst to finally dump T-Mobile and make the jump to AT&T. And of course we couldn't go to AT&T without buying some iPhones, right? With the updates made during the conference itself, multiple SMS' for one, many of the barriers that had been ...
Goodbye San Francisco!
It was a great, if not busy & tiring, week in my second favorite city in the world. Here's the week by the numbers: Parties thrown: 1 Number of minutes it took to suck down $1300 worth of booze: 30 Number of people who attended: 500+ Number of times someone made a joke about being a PC in reference to my wearing a tie: 10+ Number of parties attended: 2 or 3, depending on what you consider a party Number of announcements from Steve: There were 4 things, not 5 Dollars it costs to buy two people lunch at Moscone: ...

Macworld Predictions
I saw this headline pop up in my reader and it reminded me that me and Jacqui have been trading our own MacWorld predictions back and forth between each other for the past few weeks. Since we'll both be in attendance live blogging the keynote and covering the floor during the week of MacWorld, I thought I'd make my own predictions prior to reading Ryan's post. Movie rentals from iTunes. This has been talked to death in the press, Jacqui got the news a while before it hit the mainstream press and Ars covered this here. It's pretty much a ...
